FLASH – more radiation with less damage?

FLASH is a form of radiotherapy that is delivered ultra-rapidly at a very high dose/time ratio. FLASH is not used in clinical practice, but this type of radiotherapy is currently being developed and tested. The hope is to be able to apply more radiation but with less damage to normal

Computational vaccine design to fight antibiotic-resistant human pathogens

My goal is to develop a computational workflow that uses public datasets and protein structure models to identify conserved, surface-exposed, and functionally important bacterial antigens for vaccine design. This workflow will generate the most comprehensive resource for rational vaccine development against antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. By designing and testing optimised vaccines, I

Translational evaluation of a novel therapy against emphysema

I have already developed a new unique treatment for lung emphysema in COPD patients and obtained very promising in vitro results. In line with these, I expect to observe that the Lung-bioECM promotes the regeneration of the damaged lung tissue in a relevant animal model of emphysema. This will motivate

Pramipexole as a tailored treatment for anhedonia

The study has the potential to enable tailored treatment for depression. If the results are positive, pramipexole could be introduced as an alternative for depressed patients. There are several other ongoing or planned studies investigating similar hypotheses, namely that pramipexole may serve as a tailored treatment for anhedonia. If several

Objective and Quantitative Assessment tools for ADHD and ASD

We are developing objective and quantitative assessment tools that measure cerebellar function in combination with a modernised movement assessment test. We believe this has the potential to revolutionise the way we assess and study ADHD and ASD – two diagnoses that affect several hundred thousand children in Sweden alone. In
